Nami Island & Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale 2013 KOREA

9/23~10/4 去年に引き続き韓国那南怡(ナミソム)での’International Pottery Festival ’に参加してきました。3日間でオブジェを完成させ、その後 ’GiC Biennale 2013’韓国京畿(ギョンギ)で開かれているビエンナーレにも参加し、ペーパーキルンを作り窯焚きをする、というワークショップを行いました。

今回もまた、地元の方々の大きな支援と愛情に支えられ、世界中の仲間との友情を育み、Artを通して人生をより深める旅となりました。

I'd like to thank all of our Korean hosts & volunteers for their great efforts to make Namisum & Gyeonggi a fabulous time for all of us. It is such a good feeling to come together from all over the world, to connect our selves through clay as the historical and universal nexus to our hearts. Much gratitude and love from Doug&Narumi.

一見、現代的でポップな”水玉宇宙”
でも、和菓子にもよく合うんです。
お茶の時間がより楽しくなります！

My recent "Polka Dot Skies" series looks modern & a bit 'pop'...
but it goes well with traditional Japanese sweets.
Play!
enjOy!
yumYUM!!!
